Seattle Seahawks FB Owen Schmitt is the team's only true fullback, but RB Quinton Ganther is capable of playing the role, reports Danny O'Neil, of The Seattle Times. Schmitt might not be released from the team, but the Seahawks could consider letting him go when they need to reduce their roster size.

Seattle Seahawks RB Quinton Ganther (head) could make the final cuts because of his versatility, reports The Seattle Times' Danny O'Neil. Seattle typically keeps three running backs and two fullbacks, but because of the premium placed on tight ends in their system, they'll likely only keep FB Owen Schmitt. Ganther can play some fullback as well as feature on special teams, which could secure a final spot on the 53-man roster. Ganther missed a practice this week after taking a hit to the head in a scrimmage Sunday, Aug. 8.

Seattle Seahawks RB Quinton Ganther had an arraignment regarding his DUI charges Wednesday, July 28, reports Danny O'Neil, of The Seattle Times. It was continued until Sept. 1. Ganther, who is battling for a roster spot with the Seahawks, faces two DUI charges.

Seattle Seahawks RB Quinton Ganther has been released from Sacramento (Calif.) County Jail Saturday, July 3, and is scheduled for a court appearance Wednesday, July 7, reports The Associated Press, citing The Seattle Times.

Kate Howard and Clay Carey, of The Tennessean, reports Tennessee Titans QB Vince Young and Washington Redskins RB Quinton Ganther reportedly hung out with Sahel Kazemi, according to Kazemi's friend and former roommate, Emily Andrews. Kazemi shot and killed former NFL QB Steve McNair before killing herself July 4. Andrews told police she and Kazemi had a get-together with Young and Ganther at a condo owned by McNair. Ganther said he met Kazemi at the restaurant where she worked for several months before the shooting. She had sent him text messages and visited his apartment once, but Ganther denied having a romantic relationship with her. Ganther was interviewed by police, but detectives have not talked to Young and say he is irrelevant to the investigation.

Jason Reid, of The Washington Post, reports the Washington Redskins' running-back-by-committee between RBs Rock Cartwright, Quinton Ganther and Marcus Mason will continue after an impressive performance in Week 13. "I like the way all the running backs are giving effort," head coach Jim Zorn said. "It's one of those deals where, by committee, we're doing a pretty good job. I think each guy in his own right is going as hard as he can. I think we're getting better as we go down here. The guys are feeling more and more comfortable getting themselves up the field." Ganther has previously worked with offensive coordinator Sherman Smith when Smith was the running backs coach with the Tennessee Titans. "He hasn't surprised Sherman because Sherman has known about him," Zorn said. "It's good for our team that we've got guys, even Marcus Mason, with his ability to run as well. All three of those guys are coming on strong."

Fantasy Tip: The reality is that the Redskins will use Betts as much as they can. Cartwright might serve as the goal line back and vulture an opportunity or two, but neither of the backups is a fantasy play or serves as reason to bench Betts. Betts is a solid flex play this week, at least in PPR leagues.
